to. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} copy to JE [crossed out] Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X7830 EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/3.11.26. RE EXPL. BODIES AT MESSRS HOOPER & CO. Further to our EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/27.10.26. re the above asking for the remaining subframe pieces, we would point out that the India will have a 56 ins. rear track and the E.A.C.VII. will have a 58 ins track. This will mean that the rear heel boards will not be as on the existing N.Schemes but will need lengthening to accommodate this change. Will Derby please arrange for this. We shall be glad to receive all the necessary pieces for these two cars as soon as possible as we are ready to start work. EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
